  Dionysus, Lycurgus, Ambrosia and an Erinys Her breath reeked of alcohol. She was dizzy, disoriented and weak, so much so that one day she passed out and hit her head on a kitchen counter while making lunch for her school-age children. Yet not a drop of liquor had passed her lips, a fact that the 50-year-old Toronto woman and her husband told doctors for two years before someone actually believed her. June 3 https://www.sott.net/article/492159-Her-gut-was-producing-alcohol-Doctors-didnt-believe-her   This phenomenon known as “auto-brewery syndrome” or “gut-fermentation syndrome” is a rare medical condition which can occur when abnormal amounts of gastrointestinal yeast convert common food carbohydrates into ethanol.   To explain the astrology behind the news we will look at the chart of the solar eclipse [19ar24] at Toronto. Along with Chiron [19ar24], the eclipse is conjunct the star Baten Kaitos [22ar16] in the belly of Sea Monster Cetus. A little further in longitude is E

   Japan Banking Giant Norinchukin To Liquidate $63 Billion treasuries https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/music-just-stopped-banking-giant-norinchukin-liquidate-63-billion-treasuries-and-european   Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. It is a fascinating and illuminating study of how individuals or groups interact with one another. No matter how hard we try we cannot get away from the issues that our relationship charts bring up as this example from the horoscopes of Japan and the US will show us.     The US Sibly Pluto [27cp] is conjunct Japan’s Ascendant [26cp]   The synastry between Pluto and the Ascendant-Descendant axis delves into the profound interaction between the forces of deep transformation, power dynamics, and rebirth (Pluto) and an individual’s self-identity, outward persona (Ascendant), and one-on-one relationships (Descendant). This dynamic explores how deep-seated changes and power exchanges influence and are reflected in the way individuals present th

  Germany dumps migrants in Poland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwm1B1Vr5-I     The Polish Border Guard has demanded that its German counterpart explain why a family of migrants was dropped off on Polish soil last week. June 17 https://www.rt.com/news/599449-poland-germany-dumping-migrants/   The chart for the April 8 total solar eclipse at Berlin is conjunct Mercury placed very significantly on the descendant. Mercury is the ruler of the 9 th house (migrants) and is retrograde implying that Germany may be doing a rethink about migrants.   Now if we progress the chart to June 17, the date of the news, we find that the eclipse has reached the IC and is therefore triggered. Next we notice that the eclipse is conjunct Chiron (seeking exemptions from rules) and square Ceres (nurturing and caring) so it is not surprising that Germany does not want to look after the migrants.   Finally the eclipse [19ar] is conjunct Admetus [20ar]/Amor [19ar] in Germany’s national chart [24 Ma

  Aries - the charging Ram At least nine people died and around 60 were injured when a goods locomotive struck a stationary passenger train in India’s West Bengal state on Monday. June 17 https://www.rt.com/india/599433-train-crash-kills-over-dozen-people/   Symbolically eclipses bring the invisible into visibility when the light of our conscious awareness must face whatever is residing in the darkness of our unconscious. In doing so, eclipses often bring chaos before new storylines can be born. This is one of the reasons why accidents take place with eclipses.   Presented here is the chart for the April 8 solar eclipse at Jalpaighuri where the accident took place. Notice that the eclipse is placed very significantly on the IC.     Next if we progress the chart to June 17 when the accident took place, we can see that the Ascendant has reached a conjunction to the eclipse thereby activating it.   Some more details emerge if we notice that the eclipse is conjunct the centaur C

      The House of Representatives on Friday (June 14) approved its version of the annual defense policy bill, effectively clearing the $883.7 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to move forward in a 217-199 vote which largely fell along party lines. Only three Republicans opposed it. https://www.zerohedge.com/military/military-draft-coming-house-passes-measure-automatically-register-men-selective-service       In this post, we shall see how the First Quarter Moon of 14 June is hinting at the news. With the Sun/Mercury [23ge] - Moon [23vi] straddling the meridian, the phase is significant for the Washington DC.  The First Quarter Moon [23vi] on the descendant is conjunct the star Benatnash (Alkaid) of the Big Dipper. The popular Chinese lore connected with this star is Kuan-Ti , the God of War,one of the most popular gods of China, especially worshipped by the army. Moreover, the Sun which is conjunct stars of Orion - the Warrior is the ruler of the sixth house

  The Petrodollar agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia was signed on 8 June 1974 to maintain the United States Dollar as the international reserve currency, which meant that every nation in the world had to buy US Dollars if they wanted oil or gas.  As part of the agreement, the Saudis received protection and were granted a free hand in the region. The agreement made between Washington and Riyadh guaranteed that the latter would receive protection from the former and Washington would look the other way regarding Riyadh’s behavior within its kingdom and in the region – so long as Saudi Arabia sold its black gold in US dollars alone. The petrodollar agreement took place in the shadow of  the Total Solar Eclipse of 20 June 1974. Here is the chart   for the eclipse   drawn for the midpoint between Riyadh and Washington DC. The eclipse is square the Vulcanus/Node midpoint and conjunct the star Betelgeuse of Orion - a war lord!  (see image) Vulcanus/Node: feeling forc

    Secret Meeting of Elites     US Senator Lindsey Graham, a reliably hawkish Republican who loves provocative statements, has caused a fresh stir by saying the quiet part out loud. In a recent interview ( June 9) on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” Graham argued that Washington must not permit Russia to win the war in Ukraine because of the rich deposits of critical minerals on Ukraine’s territory, which are worth 10 to 12 trillion dollars, according to the senator. https://www.rt.com/news/599171-ukraine-graham-gold-mine/     Here is the current Sibly solar return (precession corrected) for 9 July 2023 which incidentally is also Lindsey Graham’s birthday. Notice that Pluto [29cp25] is powerfully placed as the apex of a T-square with the Nodes that straddle the horizon.  On 9 June, as Lindsey Graham was giving the CBS interview, transit Mars was on the Ascendant [0ta] of the Sibly return square Pluto[29cp25] and the asteroid Hera [2aq].     Mars/Pluto : This combination can

      This is where the future is heading when we leave the police work up to big brother and AI. Innocent drivers in Atlanta were improperly issued $75 tickets for speeding through a school zone at times when flashing yellow lights, used to indicate a revised speed limit during school hours, were not flashing. FOX affiliate WAGA-TV reports that once school is dismissed and the orange lights cease flashing, the speed limit increases to 35 miles per hour, from the revised limit of 25 miles per hour. Jun 11 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/speed-cameras-atlanta-improperly-issued-300000-500000-worth-tickets       The news can be understood if we begin with the chart for the First Quarter Noon of June 14 drawn for Altanta. Since the Saturn - Sun - Moon T-square straddles the meridian, the FQ Moon is significant for the place.   For the stars that are conjunct the IC [19ge] and the Sun [23ge], Diana Rosenberg writes:   This set combines Lepus, the speed-loving Hare with stars of

  Yemen’s Houthis say they have launched a missile attack on a United States aircraft carrier in the Red Sea in response to deadly US and British strikes on Yemen. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the attack on the Eisenhower carrier on Friday. 31 May https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/31/red-sea-tensions-yemens-houthis-attack-us-carrier-after-deadly-strikes     Astrology involves a more symbolic and metaphoric mode of perceiving that “sees through” surfaces to uncover hidden dimensions of knowledge and connections not immediately apparent to the physical eye, and which traffics in patterns of meaning rather than discrete bits of data. What follows are a couple of real-life examples which illustrate these nuances.   In a previous post [1] we saw a connection between the chart of the painter Dali and the incident where a ship named Dali hit the Baltimore bridge.   The container ship "DALI" hit the Francis Scott Key bridge outside Port Baltimore earl

  Dragon – ancient symbol of electricity and lightning Three children who are members of the same family in Kangai Sub County, Dokolo District were this afternoon struck dead by lightning....Rev Gorge Omia the Parish Priest Agoronyut Church of Uganda, who visited the deceased home said the children were struck by lightning at around 3pm as they took shelter at their grandfather, Amen Moses' house. June 6 https://www.sott.net/article/492092-Lightning-strike-kills-3-siblings-in-Uganda   Astrologers make a distinction between primary and secondary causes of events. For example a transit at the exact time of an event is a secondary cause much like the minute or second hand of the clock. On the other hand a primary cause , the hour hand, can be an eclipse, ingress or exact planetary aspect etc that can be far removed in time from the actual incident.   Here is the chart for the lightning strike on June 6 at 3 pm drawn for the co-ordinates of Kangai. The first thing to notice is t

  Le Penseur (1904) Rodin  NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has ditched a five-year plan to provide Ukraine with €100 billion ($108 billion) in military aid after pushback from members of the bloc, Bloomberg reported on Friday, (June 6) citing people familiar with the matter. https://www.rt.com/news/599002-nato-scraps-stoltenberg-ukraine-aid/     The New Moon[16ge] of June 6 which was conjunct Venus [16ge] and square Saturn [19pi] fell in Stoltenberg’s 10 th house conjunct his Mars[16ge] - Moon[14ge] implying that it had an important message for him. One manifestation of Venus-Saturn is money (Venus) - scarcity (Saturn). Let us see if we can decipher that message further using the asteroids. The New Moon was conjunct the asteroids Dionysus-Siva-Panacea   Martha Wescott provides the following interpretation.   Dionysus/Venus An addiction/ immaturity or obsession with money matters.   Siva/Venus This obsession with spending money has become so intractable that &q

    The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced its temporary pier for Gaza, which has been out of commission for a couple of weeks after it was broken apart by choppy Mediterranean seas, has been fully reestablished and is operational.    "At approximately 2:15 pm (local Gaza time) on June 7, US Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully reestablished the temporary pier in Gaza, enabling the continued delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," CENTCOM said in a statement posted to X. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-armys-failure-prone-pier-connected-gaza-beach-again-after-breaking-apart     Here is the chart for June 7; 2:15 pm (Gaza Time). Notice a powerful Hades-Kronos-Nodes T-square straddling the meridian. Think of the this chart as the “minute hand” of the cosmic clock. The “hour hand” can be an eclipse chart or an ingress chart etc.   In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardin

  An international peace summit in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian War is planned to be held in Bürgenstock Resort in Switzerland on 15–16 June 2024.The conference follows a series of four earlier international meetings, and is to be hosted by the Swiss president Viola Amherd.   In this post, we shall see how the First Quarter Moon of 14 June is presenting a challenge to the participants of the “peace summit”. With the Sun [23ge] - Moon [23vi] straddling the meridian, the phase is significant for the Bürgenstock Resort.   The Sun [23ge] is placed among the stars - Phact, alpha Columba, Al Hecka, zeta Taurus, El Nath, gamma Aurigae, Al Nilam, epsilon Orionis, Alnitak, zeta Orionis.   About these stars, Diana Rosenberg writes: Here powerful aggressive Orion and the angry charging Bull may be held in check by the rein holding Charioteer and peace seeking Dove.   The First Quarter Moon [23vi] on the IC is conjunct the star Benatnash (Alkaid) of the Big Dipper. The popular Chinese lo

  Waking from a Dream  by Nancy Fruchtman  The news that President Joe Biden has given the go-ahead for long-range missiles to be fired into Russia should be worrying for a number of reasons. The dangerous game of escalation that the West is playing will have a breaking point in the not too distant future. The question is whether the West really understands how Putin thinks as it is presently betting on no retaliation from Russia, which is not only erroneous but very, very dangerous. Recent missile strikes into Russian territory destroyed two radar installations which western press refuse to report. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/06/05/the-west-already-at-war-with-russia-but-its-leaders-cant-wake-up-from-dream/     Synastry is the art of relationship Astrology.

  Georgia's capital city, Atlanta, declared a state of emergency as it battled several major water main breaks since Friday, according to statements. "We have declared a state of emergency in the City of Atlanta to allow us to access resources in an expedited manner," Mayor Andre Dickens told reporters at a press conference Sunday. The city's authorities announced a water main break affecting a 48-inch transmission line and a 36-inch line at about 12:20 p.m. Friday on Facebook and X. https://tinyurl.com/y9xz4nsw       In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Presented here is the Aries ingress of the Sun (current cardinal ingress) drawn for Atlanta, Georgia.. Note the prominent alignment of the Uranus-Jupiter square straddling the meridian. We are here interested in the lower meridian

  Georgian PM says EU official made 'horrific threat'    Barely a fortnight ago,socialist European Union Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi issued a direct death threat to Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze: “Look what happened to Fico, you should be very careful”—a direct death threat reference to the “Slovakian Donald Trump” nationalist populist leader Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was just released from hospital after a socialist assassin pumped five bullets into him on 15 May—and was a direct death threat issued because Georgia enacted a law that mandates the media and NGOs must register as pursuing the interests of a foreign power if they receive over 20% of their funding from abroad, which is near exactly like the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in the United States. https://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index4630.htm       To understand this news we look at a biwheel of [1] Inner Wheel : European Union [2] Outer Wheel: Georgia.

  The South Korean military accused North Korea of launching more balloons filled with trash toward Seoul on Saturday. Pyongyang floated hundreds of inflatables containing “filth” southward during the week, in retaliation for South Korea dropping propaganda flyers over its neighbor.North Korea sent around 260 large balloons floating southward on Tuesday (May 26) and Wednesday (May 27), carrying trash such as cigarette butts, plastic, and human waste. https://www.rt.com/news/598643-north-korea-balloons-seoul/     The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. To understand how their energies are focused at any place of interest astrologers routinely draw charts of monthly moon phass. Presented here is the chart of the Waning Gibbous Moon of May 27 drawn for Pyongyang. The luminaries are anchored to a prominent T-square Hades-Kronos-Mars-Nodes in the angles. The TNP Poseidon is trine Hades-Kronos. Conjunct the MC and the TNPs Hades-Kronos is the a
